Lower is better
Review
The movie - which is based on a true story - keeps pushing the woman's fight to survive and escape her male abuser the whole way through. The story constantly shows the justice system failing victims and protecting the abuser in court. These female empowerment and institutional failure elements run through the entire narrative as the core engine. No broader activist sermons appear.
